The embodiment of the present invention has proposed the method for configuration arrowband descending transmission channel, as shown in Figure 1, comprises the steps.
11, in system descending data channel resource, divide Yi Ge arrowband descending transmission channel resource, so that MTC UE receives Downlink Control Information or downlink data information by described arrowband descending transmission channel resource.
12, by described arrowband descending transmission channel resource division, be the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of a physical down data channel resource and a plurality of enhancings, a physical down data channel resource described in the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource co-controlling of wherein said a plurality of enhancings.
Wherein, the part that the frequency domain bandwidth of arrowband descending transmission channel resource is system bandwidth, and described arrowband descending transmission channel resource is identical with the shared symbolic number of described system descending data channel resource in time domain.The transmission bandwidth of the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource strengthening described in each here, is at least 2 Physical Resource Block.
Thus, shortcoming in view of prior art, the embodiment of the present invention has proposed to divide a GeMTCUE arrowband descending transmission channel resource in system descending data channel resource, and be the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of a physical down data channel resource and a plurality of enhancings by described MTCUE arrowband descending transmission channel resource division, a physical down data channel resource described in the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource co-controlling of wherein said a plurality of enhancings.The Physical Downlink Control Channel resource division of the enhancing in JiangMTCUE arrowband descending transmission channel resource becomes the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of the enhancing that a plurality of bandwidth are less, thereby further reduce the bandwidth of MTC UE when downgoing baseband is processed, further to reduce MTC UE Base-Band Processing complexity (being expense).
As shown in Figure 2, the narrow band bandwidth of supposing MTC UE is that 3MHz(is corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 15 PRB), here, 8 PRB are used as the physical down data channel resource of all MTC UE, 7 PRB are as the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource strengthening, wherein the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of the enhancing of these 7 PRB is become the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1(of the narrower enhancing of 3 bandwidth corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 2 PRB by Further Division), the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 2(strengthening is corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 2 PRB) and the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 3(of enhancing corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 3 PRB).
The distribution of PRB number of transmission bandwidth that should be understood that the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of different enhancings can be combination in any, but the minimum transmission bandwidth allowing should not be less than 2 PRB.The number of the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of the enhancing that bandwidth is narrower can be also arbitrarily, but should be no less than 2.
If different MTC UE can be divided into different MTC UE groups again, and a MTC UE organizes the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of only using an enhancing.In the example of Fig. 2, MTC UE has been divided into 3 MTC UE groups, wherein MTC UE group 1 can be used the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1 of enhancing, MTC UE group 2 can be used the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 2 of enhancing, and MTC UE group 3 can be used the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 3 of enhancing.
Again for example, the narrow band bandwidth of supposing MTC UE is that 3MHz(is corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 15 PRB), here, 4 PRB are as the physical down data channel resource of all MTC UE, and the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource correspondingly strengthening can be divided into the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource (the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1 for example strengthening is to the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 5 strengthening) of the narrower enhancing of 5 bandwidth.Wherein, the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1 of enhancing respectively takies 2 PRB to the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 4 strengthening, and the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 5 of enhancing takies 3 PRB.
Again for example, the narrow band bandwidth of supposing MTC UE is that 3MHz(is corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 15 PRB), here, 6 PRB are as the physical down data channel resource of all MTC UE, and the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource correspondingly strengthening can be divided into the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource (the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1 for example strengthening is to the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 4 strengthening) of the narrower enhancing of 4 bandwidth.Wherein, the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 1 of enhancing respectively takies 2 PRB to the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 3 strengthening, and the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource 3 of enhancing takies 3 PRB.
Again for example, the narrow band bandwidth of supposing MTC UE is that 5MHz(is corresponding to the transmission bandwidth of 25 PRB), here, in the narrow band bandwidth of 5MHz, there is the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource of a physical down data channel resource and a plurality of enhancings, the same physical down data channel of the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource co-controlling resource of the plurality of enhancing.Wherein, physical down data channel resource can take 4,6,8,10 PRB, and 2 PRB of the Physical Downlink Control Channel resource occupation of each enhancing or 3 PRB.
As can be seen here; the arrowband descending transmission channel resource forming as the embodiment of the present invention so only takies a pair of boundary belt; and traditional data channels resource is only existed once and cut apart, and the impact therefore the resource continuous dispensing mode of system data channel resource being produced is very little.
In addition, at MTC UE and eNB, according to configuring with upper type after the physical down transmission channel resources of arrowband, just can utilize arrowband descending transmission channel resource for transmitting Downlink Control Information between MTC UE and eNB.
